Man with a gun menacing children? There's no story here

At 8:40 AM on Thursday, March 22, 2012, Shoreline Officers responded to a report that children at a bus stop in the Briarcrest area had been threatened by a man in a car with a gun.

Somehow this got to the media and on radio.

The children, 3rd graders, were interviewed by officers and they said that a man in a car looked at them in a mean way.

That's it. Somehow when they told older siblings it went from a mean look, to a mean man pointing at them, to a man pointing a gun at them.

Sgt. Steve R. Sowers says, "So if anyone asks, now you can tell them there were no threats, and certainly no firearm."
